Five Frozen Centuries

Wei Huo handed this quest to Xiao Bin and everything else to Wei Sha. He then began clearing the quest.

Level-15 Zhou Yi took the lead after he opened the ranking list. The others were chasing after him too. It seemed like they had already completed the level-10 hunting quest.

Wei Huo started his novice quest, which included crafting stone axes and hunting tools. The tenth quest was: ‘Please hunt a Wild Beast. Reward: Level +1’.

The tenth quest could not be completed with the option of using Magical Stones.

Soon, Wei Huo returned after hunting a deer. The animal was called a deer because its two horns were long and it had a plum blossom on it. That was why it was called a deer.

Due to accelerated evolution, the boundary between animals and plants had started to become unclear. In theory, animal cells did not have cell walls, and plant cells did. It should be impossible to combine the two. However, the game creator could change things with just one sentence.

After throwing the deer to the three of them, Wei Huo moved on to his 11th quest. However, he could no longer spend Magical Stones from this quest on. This quest was also several times more difficult than the first 10.

11th quest: ‘Find and excavate 10 units of iron ore’.

It was not too hard to find iron ores. He could purchase an ordinary mineral detection device for 10,000 Magical Stones.

Yes, it was not hard…

Wei Huo smiled. “The trap has been activated…”

He did not know much about the surrounding ores. He could only spend 50,000 Magical Stones to purchase a mining detection device. However, with an ordinary mining device, one could only look for a mine but not an ore. It was alright, he could just buy a mobile mining device worth 50,000 Magical Stones, a semi-automatic mining machine worth 100,000 Magical Stones, or an automatic mining robot worth 150,000 Magical Stones.

However, the game still had a conscience. Level 11 to 15 were all mining quests. One could dig after buying equipment, but it would take time.

Wei Huo spent 50,000 to purchase a rare mineral detector. An ordinary mineral detector could only detect minerals like steel, iron, and bronze. However, this rare mineral detector could detect rare minerals such as gold, silver, bronze, and mithril.

Wei Huo bought the detector and powered it up by himself. When he scanned the place with it, it seemed like there were only bronze, iron, and coal mines nearby.

There was no need to mention bronze, as iron and coal could be used to refine steel. However, Wei Huo did not know that the Tech Tree seemed to be able to unlock steel. The Tech Tree was grey in color. It seemed like one needed to build a camp to unlock it. Many of the things necessary to build a camp needed to be purchased in the Item Mall. Alright, everything was going according to plan. One had to pay up.

Wei Huo bought an automatic mining robot because the robot would mine on its own. The minerals were hidden underground, and only a robot could improve his efficiency.

Let’s level up first.

Soon, Xiao Bin and the others started roasting meat and eating. This time, they even presented Wei Huo with the most delicious hindlegs. However, Wei Huo was not hungry at all.

Surprisingly, he asked, “How many times have you guys roasted meat?”

The three of them paused briefly before they said, “About… three times.”

Wei Huo lifted his head and looked at the sky. The sun was up in the middle of the night. It was currently the hottest day he had ever experienced.

The three of them also noticed this problem. They mumbled to themselves, “Isn’t this day a little too long?”

Of course, the game was long. At least 10 hours had passed since the sun had risen. However, the sun seemed to have only just risen now. Wasn’t this day too long?

It did not matter if the day had been extended. The three of them could not take it anymore. Their Energy decreased rapidly, and they had to sleep.

The three of them were listless as their eyelids twitched. Wei Huo glanced at them and said, “Go and rest. Starting tomorrow, you have to begin your physical training. However, you have to note your gradual progress…”

The three of them nodded and went back to their cabins to sleep. Wei Huo started researching by using the laptop he had obtained in the Divine Realm.

He read the diary first. There was nothing worth paying attention to in the diary. The last entry recorded a visit to the hospital three days before the college entrance examination. There were no further updates on what had happened.

After reading the diary, Wei Huo started reading Ye Yunxiao’s research notes. The notes were much more valuable. Not only were Ye Yunxiao’s cultivation skills recorded, but his thoughts and theories on the black helmet were recorded as well. However, the most crucial part of his research on the black helmet was gone.

There should be another research notebook, but since it had been taken away by Ye Yunxiao, it probably recorded the materials and manufacturing method of the black helmet.

That’s right. Wei Huo had yet to figure out what material the pitch-black helmet was made of. That was the only item that Wei Huo dared not dismantle to study it.

What he could do was put the helmet on his head and use the imposing aura to control and observe. However, the imposing aura was only a field after all. If Wei Huo’s imposing aura could reach the Domain Force level, Wei Huo would be able to observe the atom’s sequencing and the molecular structure of the helmet. That way, he could discover what materials he needed to make the helmet.

However, Ye Yunxiao had gained inspiration from the other girl’s notes. If he could study the notes thoroughly, Wei Huo would have a high chance of crafting the helmet.

Wei Huo was well aware of the importance of the helmet. Humans could only remove or block Thinking Locks in order to free themselves from control. If they could mass-produce this helmet, all their problems would be solved.

Research was just like cultivation. As long as one did not feel sleepy or hungry, time would pass by quickly.

The first day of the game’s launch was finally over. As night fell, Xiao Bin and the others woke up as well. At that moment, Wei Huo took a break from his research.

The three of them were feeling hungry. After lighting a bonfire, they went on to roast meat. Wei Sha had just returned from hunting when the rhinoceros lay in front of the pool and yawned lazily.

The camp suddenly went silent. No one spoke or did anything. Only the rustling sound of the leaves around them could be heard. It was the sound of leaves rustling in the wind. At night, the sea breeze blew over from the sea and moved the leaves.

Right at that moment, a bronze sword flew out of Wei Huo’s hand. The short sword carried Wei Huo’s Qi energy as it flew toward Wei Sha like thunder. The sword flew past Wei Sha and penetrated a tree. It was then nailed onto another tree.

At that moment, a faint figure appeared behind the tree.

“An Invisibility Cloak?” Wei Huo raised his brows. It was a Quantum Invisibility Cloak that was priced at 100,000 Magical Stones in the Item Mall. Its effect was BT, but once one was attacked, it would appear.

Wei Huo had activated the God View upon seeing Wei Sha. That was why he had noticed the movement behind Wei Sha. Wei Huo had not dared ignore the movement and had thus immediately thrown his bronze sword. However, Wei Huo had still held back.
